[Nfbc-info] Nfbc-info Digest, Vol 132, Issue 20

Mon May 23 00:14:05 UTC 2016

Hello all I am in desperate need of a couple of roommates for the 2016 national Federation of the blind national convention I just heard from one of the people who were supposed to be my roommates and he cannot go because of personal issues which really kills me because I cannot attend due to financial reasons unless both of these things occur a. I get the Wilbur Radcliff grant I applied for, and b. I get 2 other male roommates.
